No New Year’s resolution

This New Year is going to be very different for me. I’m not

making any New Year’s resolutions.

There’s two very good reasons – firstly, I’m pretty happy with what I am doing

at the moment and secondly, they never seem to work anyway.

Workout all year long and you don’t have to go buy a workout

wardrobe that will only be worn until Valentines Day. I exercise and try to eat

decent, Yes, could I save more money, or be a little friendlier to strangers,

probably but I am not going to resolve to do such, because face it, forcing

yourself to do things doesn’t get them done.

According to the 2013 New Year’s survey from Google, us women are a predictable

bunch.

While men are more likely to want to buy a house or get a promotion, we women

are vain and tend to make body or health conscious goals, including increasing

the amount we exercise, losing weight, eating a healthier diet and drinking

more water.

I can’t speak for everyone but in my experience, the peak of winter is the

worst time to be making such promises to yourself. December and January are the

most social months of the year – what a drag to have to decline food and

beverages just because of a little promise you made to yourself!

According to the Google survey, 18 to 29-year-olds will be

the most ambitious in 2013, setting themselves up for a busy year with an

average of 4.5 goals. They are more likely than any other age group to want to

increase savings, buy a house, get married, get promoted or move overseas.

The top five goals for 2013 are increasing exercise, increasing savings, losing

weight, and eating healthier and reducing debt.

Yes, that all sounds great. But let’s talk in February.
